Spanish Eggnog–Coquito Recipe
The most wonderful time of the year is upon us. With it comes Christmas lights and decorations, and of course food. One of the most traditional drinks to have over the holidays is eggnog, but in my family we make something a little different. Now you can make it too with this simple coquito recipe.
Coquito is the Puerto Rican version of eggnog. It has a similar consistency to eggnog, except it has a coconut base instead of eggs and heavy cream. It is traditionally made during the holiday season to share with friends and family, and it also makes a great Christmas present too. (Yes, I've done this, and they loved it.)
There are different ways of making coquito like adding vanilla ice cream or using spiced rum instead of the traditional white rum, but for me the best coquito is the classic and simple recipe.
